Freezing character on place when health is 0?

Question

I am creating a 2D game. When the health is 0, I want the player to freeze, so even when we hit the buttons, the character doesn't move. How can I do it?

Or you can just disable the script/component handling the movement when the player 'dies' (hp < 0). I think this really is the cleanest way.

You could Disable Rigidbody and CharacterController.

Put a condition before the code for player movement

 If (health > 0)
 {
 // code that makes the character move
 }

I have a code that makes my player move. When health = 0, even if the controller presses the buttons on the keyboard, the player doesn't move. I already know how to set the timing. So the only thing I need help with is the freezing part. I tried your method, but It didn't work.

oh. Try

 GetComponent<Animator>().enabled = false

it will make the character not move a single inch

enabled doesn't work. It gives an error. But I was able to do it with another method. Thank you :)

Your problem here was probably that you did

 if (health = 0)
 {
     //allow to move
 }

When you should of done:

 if (health > 0)
 {
     //allow to move
 }

especially if your 'health' variable is a float, it is probably not exactly = 0. If the above still does not work, you have a serious 'bug' :) Even though my previous answer that you accepted seems better, I wanted to clarify that @Laiken answer was good too.

Or you could try... GetComponent= rb rb.isKinematic=true;

You can freeze the Rigidbody position like so:

 Rigidbody2D.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints2D.FreezePositionX | RigidbodyConstraints2D.FreezePositionY;

And you can remove all the constraints like so:

 Rigidbody2D.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints2D.None;

Thank you for your help. I just disabled the movement component of the player.
